Stiles

For the next couple of weeks Derek and Stiles worked on Stiles' spinning. With the spinning he finally was able to do at least two spins for the routine.

However, his fear of being thrown into the air didn't subside at all. With one week till winter break and a month before the competition Derek and Stiles met up at the Hale House place for practice.

Thanks to all the time Derek and Stiles were spending together, Claudia and Sheriff Stilinski, like the good parents they were, then felt the need to bother and pry at Stiles about Derek being his boyfriend. Stiles immediately shut down that idea, but his parents also gave him that look Scott and Isaac gave him for weeks before, "You two can strategize it anyway you want, but there is nothing going." Stiles said to them leaving when Derek pulled up.

"Whatever you say dear." Claudia said with a smile on her face. Stiles wondered if it was possible to get new parents as well.

They practiced in the Hale yard, with Derek's cousin Malia, who was watching from a baby bouncer.

"Ouch damn it, that hurt." Derek exclaimed. During one of the spins, Stiles unintentionally made a third one and kicked Derek in the face. With that in mind, Derek for once, managed to fail at catching Stiles and caused them to meet the ground like a ton of bricks.

"I would ask if you were okay," Stiles told him, "But you can heal like superfast."

"I will be able to once you get off me." Derek shot at him.

"Oh right." Stiles got up and noticed that the right side of Derek's cheek was red and a dirt print from his shoe.

At this, Stiles laughed, along with Malia who really was babbling, "I really don't see what is funny about me being kicked by you." Derek said grumpily.

"And that is the beauty of it." Stiles told him as he attempted to wipe Derek's face. But Stiles doesn't even make contact when Derek suddenly grabbed him by the wrist and kicked his leg under Stiles' leg causing him to hit the ground.

"Now we're even." Derek said with a smirk as he went to get his cousin.

"I want you to know that stung like a bitch." Derek complained once they Malia settled in. Stiles had to admit he felt bad for actually hurting Derek, even though he completely healed with no bruise to show for it.

"Like I said you little baby I'm sorry." Stiles told him once again as he iced Derek's face (as a sign of good gesture), "And need I remind you that you drop-kicked me after that."

Derek chuckled a bit. "I only did that so there wouldn't be another prank war."

"Oh why?" Stiles questioned, "Are you afraid that you would lose to a human?"

"You're a human?" Derek teased back, "All this time I thought you were a werefox." He smirked, looking right at Stiles, "They are trickers after all."

"Oh shut up." Stiles told him, "And stop moving your face to look at me."

"Then why don't you," Derek told him grabbing by the waist. "Come sit on my lap so we don't have to struggle." Derek finished as he placed Stiles right on his lap. Stiles could feel his face flushing, "What's the matter Stiles? I don't recall you getting kicked in the face." Derek taunted.

"I'm not going to dignify that with a response." Stiles replied, "But I will say that the red on your cheek has returned." Stiles supplied looking him in the eye.

"Touché." Derek told him as he pulled Stiles closer. Stiles noticed that their face had gotten closer. Stiles was starting to wonder what hell was going on.

Derek

Derek had no idea what he was doing or what was coming over him. Stiles' face was close to his and he could hear Stiles' heartbeat rapidly beating, "Just remember people sit on that couch." His uncle, Peter's voice suddenly rang out.

It scared not only Derek, but Stiles as well, "You know the least you could have done was warn somebody that you were here." Derek shot at him.

"And miss the priceless facial expression of the two of you. I think not." Peter said with a smirk of his own, "Besides you're a werewolf you should've known that the moment I stepped into the house."

"I thought you were supposed to be with Deucalion." Deucalion was a longtime family friend of the Hales and just so happened to be Peter's best friend. Together those two were just as bad as Laura and Cora.

"Ahh," A familiar English accent suddenly filled the year, "Derek has a boyfriend." He was using the same tone as Peter.

"Apparently, Stiles here is just a friend." Peter said to Deucalion not hiding the undertone, "A really close friend."

"Actually, I'm his partner for the senior project we are 'married'." Stiles explained, trying not to sound like a frighten child.

"So why are you sitting on Derek's lap?" Deucalion asked pointedly.

Derek wished the couch would swallow him, whole so he could die, "He kicked me in the face earlier."

"Do tell how that happen." Laura asked appearing from nowhere. Derek then remembered the lack of privacy he got in his own home and just how much more awkward things were going to get.

"Your brother here was tormenting me by throwing me in the air and catching me for this cheer routine."

"That is not what happened." Derek countered, "You did an extra spin and planted me in the face."

"Would you look at that Uncle Peter?" Laura said, "They are already fighting like a real married couple."

Just like that Derek found himself being stared at by his sister, uncle, and Deucalion. All them were radiating the teasing tone they had in their voice,"Oh would you look at that." Stiles said with feign surprise and breaking the silence. "It's getting late." Stiles informed Derek. What Derek really felt was Stiles' cry for help.

"Oh yes. It is." Derek said easily following Stiles' lead.

On the way back to Stiles' house, the car ride was silent. Not an awkward silent, but the we-will-never-speak-of-this-again silent.

When Derek got back there were more even more people than more. He almost began to question what was going on until he remembered why exactly Deucalion was back in Beacon Hills.

"How long is this Alpha Summit going to last?" Derek asked as he watched two Twin Alphas named Ethan and Aiden lurk around his home.

"A couple of weeks," Laura said biting into an apple and then her face turned into that smile she got when she was ready to mess with Derek, "So Stiles, huh?" She started when everyone else was gone.

"Just a friend." Derek replied sharply.

"Uh-huh." Laura said with skepticism, "Keep telling yourself that."

"Don't you have a bunch of Alphas to harass instead of me."

Derek noticed the twitch on her face, "Fine I'll pick on you later," She warned him, "But I like him." And with another frustrating smile Laura walked away.
